Ab, I'm stunned by the turn of events just reading about it, but I can't imagine what guys like you and Dave, and others that were there, are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys too.

My sympathy to his family on having to make what I am sure is the hardest decision ever. I am sure they did the absolute best thing for Richard and now I just pray that things take a suprise turn for the better.

Continued prayers for him and his family.... and for everyone in the riding community to remain safe out there.

No it doesn't, especially since he was posting just a week or so ago as a proud papa, showing off his daughter's wedding.

Please pray for one, and for strength for his family and friends, they will need it.

I've been hoping and praying for good news to come in, but I'm expecting there won't be any official news for a little while, and I was hoping I wouldn't have to share this. I received a call from a lady at church who knew Rich some years ago. She called me because she knew I knew him and rode with him. She received a call from Rich's wife who painted a somewhat more dire picture than CBRVFR alluded to. If that is the case, Dave will have more important places to be.

Pray for the best, but be prepared for the worst.

Re: RAH-VFR
Rich, I have been thinking about you and praying for you all day brother, as well as praying for your family in this time of need. As I sit here right now.... I am still at a loss for words, but can only pray and just hope for the best.
